Answer:

The expected value for the game is of -$4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of the game is given by each scenario multiplied by its probability.

Scenario 1: Player wins

1 correct number from a set of 1000, so probability of 1/1000.

In this case, the player spent $5, but earns $500, so a net of 500 - 5 = $495

Scenario 2: Player loses

Probability of 999/1000.

In this case, the player loses $5.

So, the expected value for the game is:

E = \frac{495*1}{1000} - \frac{5*999}{1000} = -4.5

The expected value for the game is of -$4.5

A pizza stand offers both hand-tossed and pan pizza. Customers can add any combination of the six available toppings.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

a)14 or b)74

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming the question is how many combinations are there.

A) If toppings can't stack it would be 14, since there are 6 toppings for 2 pies and also you can go without toppings. or *2

B) If toppings can stack, then there can be 74 from being able to stack 6 toppings on one pizza and then two pizzas without it or (6^2)*2+2
